WH40k: Space Wolf - All Achievements

Getting all 75 achievements in this game.

Introduction

WARNING:
One of the achievements (Knowledge or Power) is not unlocking for me. Someone else has raised this issue and the devs have acknowledged it. However game updates has since ceased, so it may not be possible to 100% for some of us.

---

There are 75 achievements in total in WH40k: Space Wolf. Three DLCs are required along with many hours of grinding. Some tricky campaigns in Saga of the Great Awakening DLC require a powerful deck, so modding the game for good cards would help you greatly. Check out dv's very helpful guide and Sicarius' blog with additional info Sicarius' blog[www.beimchristoph.de].

The most time-consuming achievements are:
- 1000 kills in the two dlc events: Fall of Kanak and Wrath of the Damned;
- killing 450 enemies of specific fractions: Chaos Marines, Chaos Cultists, Bloodletters of Khorne in base game; Necron Warriors, Necron Deathmarks, Canoptek Scarabs in the Saga of the Great Awakening DLC
- delivering a killing blow 450 times with specific weapons: Plasma Cannon, Thunder Hammer, Sniper Rifle in base game; Grav-gun, Power Maul in the Saga of the Great Awakening DLC. So remember to include some cards of these weapon types in your deck early on and check the best options for the squad mates as their kills count as well.

Base Game - Campaign (30)

Brothers at Arms
Complete 'Brothers at Arms' mission. (1-2)



Wolf Pack
Find all surviving brothers.
Obtained after you complete 'Gathering Storm' (1-4).


Perfect Storm
Complete the first campaign.



Fatal Aftermath
Complete the second campaign.



Wicked Incantation
Complete the third campaign.



More Mjod!
Destroy 30 barrels.


Blow 'em up!



Blazing Sun (common)
Destroy 50 enemies with a Plasma Cannon.


It has to be specifically Plasma Cannon. NOT Plasma Pistol, Plasma Gun or Combi-Plasma.


Ray's Plasma Cannon with overwatch comes in very handy. Remember to equip his extra Plasma Pistol card for ample ammunition.



Blazing Sun (rare)
Destroy 150 enemies with a Plasma Cannon.



Blazing Sun (epic)
Destroy 450 enemies with a Plasma Cannon.



Thunder Bearer (common)
Destroy 50 enemies with a Thunder Hammer.


This weapon type is probably the easiest of the lot to achieve given its great damage and armour penetration.


Harald's many Thunder Hammers help a lot.



Thunder Bearer (rare)
Destroy 150 enemies with a Thunder Hammer.



Thunder Bearer (epic)
Destroy 450 enemies with a Thunder Hammer.



Vigilant Eye (common)
Destroy 50 enemies with a Sniper Rifle.




Yngvar's rifles count too.



Vigilant Eye (rare)
Destroy 150 enemies with a Sniper Rifle.



Vigilant Eye (epic)
Destroy 450 enemies with a Sniper Rifle.



Master of the Forge (common)
Forge 1 legendary card.





Master of the Forge (rare)
Forge 5 legendary card.



Master of the Forge (epic)
Forge 10 legendary card.



The Executioner (common)
Destroy 50 Chaos Cultists.


They are mostly found in the second campaign. Knowledge is Power (2-6) is a great level with up to 40 cultists.



The Executioner (rare)
Destroy 150 Chaos Cultists.



The Executioner (epic)
Destroy 450 Chaos Cultists.



The Vindicator (common)
Destroy 50 Chaos Marines.


You likely won't need to work for those guys as they are everywhere.



The Vindicator (rare)
Destroy 150 Chaos Marines.



The Vindicator (epic)
Destroy 450 Chaos Marines.



The Exorcist (common)
Destroy 50 Bloodletters of Khorne.


They crop up here and there in the third campaign. The best level to farm kills would be Clearing the Sky (3-2) as they are of low health and there are few other enemies. Clearing out the level yields you ~31 Bloodletters (out of 42 enemies in total).
Note: kills in Wraith of the Damned DLC do not count.



The Exorcist (rare)
Destroy 150 Bloodletters of Khorne.



The Exorcist (epic)
Destroy 450 Bloodletters of Khorne.



Grey Hunter
Acquire all upgrades for the Power Armour.


Wolf Guard
Acquire all upgrades for the Terminator Armour.



Wolf Scout
Acquire all upgrades for the Scout Armour.

Base Game - Scenarios (5)

The two scenarios are easy enough as long as you take your time eliminating spawned enemies before moving on. Unfortunately, Necron kills here do not count towards Saga of the Great Awakening achievements.

1) One Wolf Army

Vertigo
Complete 'One Wolf Army' mission.


Get to the temple and kill the two Lych Guards.



Relic Hunter (Ion Flux)
Aquire a special 'Ion Flux' Lascutter card.


Get to this location opposite of the temple (see diagram under Recklessness) and eliminate all enemies. The chest should then spawn. Just walk next to it to receive the card.



Recklessness
Defeat Necron Destroyer in the 'One Wolf Army' mission.




His spawn is very specific. You need to head straight in the direction of the temple without exploring the three other possible routes. You can take your time to drop mines and kill enemies.

2) Meeting of Priests

Unexpected Reunion
Complete 'Meeting of Priests' mission.



Relic Hunter (Liquid Flame)
Acquire a special 'Liquid Flame' Volkite Caliver card.


Obtained by defeating the Necron Destroyer. A chest will appear and just stand next to it to get the card.

Saga of the Great Awakening DLC (26)

This DLC introduces some very tricky enemies. Do to take advantage of the now offline game by modifying the game files for currency and/or legendary cards. See dv's guide.
Note: Necrons killed as part of the Stories do not contribute towards their respective kill counts.


Forced Retreat
Complete 'Cold Welcome' mission. (4-1)



My Enemy's Enemy Is Not My Friend!
Destroy all enemies in 'Cold Welcome' mission. (4-1)
Remember to walk through both staircases near the exit point.



A Matter of Honour
Defeat 10 Necron Lychguards. (4-2, Fire Maze)


He's quite close to the start. I'm pretty sure you can safely abort the mission and the game would
still count the kills.



Revealing Secrets
Defeat the Keeper of Secrets (4-4, Pinnacle of Madness)
The end boss of the level.




Perfect Banishment
Defeat the Keeper of Secrets without destroying the obelisks. (4-4, Pinnacle of Madness)

The obelisks are pretty annoying. Lure the Bloodletters away from their heals and minimise time spent near the danger zones around the obelisks.

Valgard is safe from the obelisk's blast here 6 tiles away.



Thirst for Knowledge
Aquire data from all 9 cogitators in the 'Straight Through' mission. (4-6)


Bring a running deck to minimise effort cost. There is no need to bring any weapons as you don't even need to kill anyone. The guards blocking the exit point can be lured away by standing here.


Terminator with the Adrenaline Surge armory upgrade is very OP as it can give you 3 action points per turn.


Drenn with his Stormborn Might passive (-35% melee damage) and Jump Pack, along with Harald and his Personal Teleports are very useful. Spawn a wolf, let those three pick up the first three cogitators in the middle. Then Valgard can handle one side of the map while Drenn and Harald handle the other side (wolf can act as a distraction for a bit).



Stopping Destruction
Defeat 5 Necron Destroyer. (4-8, Every Man For Himself)






The Undaunted
Complete 'Stairs of Nightmare' mission without any squadmates. (4-9)



Disrupting Plots
Defeat the Necron Lord. (4-10)
End boss of the level.

When on low health, he uses a powerful healing spell based on effort cost on himself and his minions.



Knowledge or Power*
Defeat Necron Cryptek in the 'Gate to Eternity' mission. (4-10)


*Theoretically it should unlock when you defeat this guy, but the achievement just isn't working for me.



At the Threshold of the Unknown
Complete the fourth campaign.



Restrained Gravity (common)
Destroy 50 enemies with a Grav-gun.


Grav-gun only - Combi-Grav, Grav-pistol do not count.

Both Drenn and Ray can carry a Grav-gun.



Restrained Gravity (rare)
Destroy 150 enemies with a Grav-gun.



Restrained Gravity (epic)
Destroy 450 enemies with a Grav-gun.



Crushing Blow (common)
Destroy 50 enemies with a Power Maul.


Probably the slowest weapon achievement to get due to its low accuracy and that none of your squadmates can help you.


Crushing Blow (rare)
Destroy 150 enemies with a Power Maul.



Crushing Blow (epic)
Destroy 450 enemies with a Power Maul.



The Tide Breaker (common)
Destroy 50 Necron Warriors.


They look a bit similar to Necron Deathmarks (see The Death Stopper achievement below).



The Tide Breaker (rare)
Destroy 150 Necron Warriors.



The Tide Breaker (epic)
Destroy 450 Necron Warriors.



The Death Stopper (common)
Destroy 50 Necron Deathmarks.




Two Necron Deathmarks and a Necron Warrior between them. They look kind of similar.



The Death Stopper (rare)
Destroy 150 Necron Deathmarks.



The Death Stopper (epic)
Destroy 450 Necron Deathmarks.



The Swarm Scatterer (common)
Destroy 50 Canoptek Scarabs.



The Swarm Scatterer (rare)
Destroy 150 Canoptek Scarabs.



The Swarm Scatterer (epic)
Destroy 450 Canoptek Scarabs.

Fall of Kanak DLC (5)

Straightforward, grindy achievements. The last one requires 1000 kills in total. Be patient, try to grab the buffs before the enemies and make use of your melee heal.

Lure enemies to the capsule tiles for satisfying instant death.


The scenario ends when you reach 100 kills.



Acolyte of the Blood God
Take part in the Fall of Kanak event.



Skulls for the Skull Throne! (common)
Collect 100 skulls.



Skulls for the Skull Throne! (rare)
Collect 250 skulls.



Skulls for the Skull Throne! (epic)
Collect 500 skulls.



Skulls for the Skull Throne! (legendary)
Collect 1000 skulls.

Wrath of the Damned DLC (9)

If you can complete the event without losing the two NPCs and the two sentry guns once, then you get 5 of the achievements in one run. Then you need to grind for a while to obtain the rest. You get 50 kills if you complete the scenario, so you'd need to play the event at least 20 times to rack up the 1000 kills required for the last achievement.

Some tips:
* Reset the game until you've got at least one good turret (4000 or 4200 health). The one with 4500 health is rubbish and wastes so much time.

The three types of turrets, from left to right, laser, melta and sentry (=trash).


If you see this, just restart.
* Look out for the dark and light blue special card, to spawn melee and flame specialist, one of each card is enough.
* Green heal card is essential.
* Two of the three bosses have helpful weaknesses: the first boss is weak against fire and the third boss is weak to melee - very convenient for your specialists.



The Hour of the Damned
Take part in the Wrath of the Damned event.



Dark Truth
Defeat all the enemies.



Blessed by the Omnissiah
Keep both Sentry Guns.



Saviours from Beyond
Egil and Corus must survive.



In Dedico Imperatum Ultra Articulo Mortis (common)
Destroy 50 enemies.



In Dedico Imperatum Ultra Articulo Mortis (rare)
Destroy 100 enemies.



In Dedico Imperatum Ultra Articulo Mortis (epic)
Destroy 200 enemies.



In Dedico Imperatum Ultra Articulo Mortis (legendary)
Destroy 500 enemies.



In Dedico Imperatum Ultra Articulo Mortis (mythic)
Destroy 1000 enemies.

I do hope they all unlock without trouble for you. Have fun with the game :)

[Karl Pilkington]

Thank you for verifying. I hope the trueachievement solution helps and clears up why it may not unlock when Necron Cryptek dies.

Game and DLC are 90 percent off as they are removing it in October. Now is the last chance to get them for a good price.

[needthistochat]

They were originally timed events but now you just need to get the DLCs and play them!

[Karl Pilkington]

And the "take part in the event" achievements aren't missable or timed, right? Usually game events aren't permanently available, not sure how they work in this game

[needthistochat]

@Karl Pilkington Ayy thank you so much for reading and commenting!
--
Yep you're right, there aren't any online components left in the game now.
--
I've defeated the Knowledge or Power boss three or four times myself and it just wasn't working. Perhaps one day I'll give the game another try, since I actually left a few grindy achievements because of the glitch haha.

[Karl Pilkington]

As for the Knowledge or Power, I read that it may not unlock because of this
" one of your characters must land the final blow. When it died to burn damage this did not unlock for me. I assume it will be the same with the Lord's AoE attack that does 300 damage as it seems not to care about friendly fire, another reason to keep them apart."

Great guide! So there is nothing that requires online or multiplayer?
